Tag Archives: UW Flash

It’s been a while since I’ve written about Standard. Since the rotation I’ve been playing a RUG midrange deck that I wrote about a while ago. I continually made improvements but every build was constantly fighting for its life against Thragtusk and Jace, Architect of Thought. Every match-up was a dogfight. Recently though I’ve made a change! It was when Shane Remelt made a huge splash into the standard metagame with UW Flash by winning the SCG: Dallas open.

As is tradition for me before any big road trip I am currently testing and trying to decide on the best list to sling at the SCG Invitational in Indianapolis. There are various different lists I have been thinking about in the past month or so. With a format as wide open as Standard is right now I don’t think there really is a bad choice. What is important for any tournament that you really want to do well in is playing what you know.
